a poem describing the characteristic solitude of a quiet night
Lost in the ambience of a solitary night
I see the shadows of the dark flora crystal clear
I hear the chirp of crickets as if theyre near
I feel rapture in this distinctive moment
which exists for me and i hold it dear

This moment is an oppurtunity for self exploration
of my mind and the restlessness of my soul
this moment has aroused my desires and aspirations to great heights
my existence has become a vessel at the mercy of raging tides
the melliflous tones of silence have smitten me in a state of indescribable happiness
an ecstacy so whimsical that the most erratic dream has ceased to be a surprise

Within myself Ive found a whole new world
different from the universe that surrounds us all
a web of entangled emotions surrounds my existence
hysteria and nostalgia have ceased to be different
My dreams and desires have now become crystal clear
reality has taken a leap into the realm of surreal
the beating of my heart is no longer a continuous process
it is the engagement of my soul in a melodious dance
which expresses happiness and regret

The sun has now emerged from the arms of the night
the moment of solitude is gone with the night
the morning has engaged everything in the robotic process of life
my calm interior has been replaced by frenzy and fright
as i make my way back to the real world
i await yet another solitary night
